Code 911

Bremerton Police and Fire Department officials are investigating an
early-morning arson after someone apparently threw a Molotov cocktail
at a home.

Bremerton Police Detective Sgt. Kevin Crane said someone threw the
incendiary weapon into a roof area of an enclosed porch at a home in
the 1500 block of Olympic Avenue around 3:17 a.m. Monday.

Three people were inside the home  two women and a
10-month-old child  but none were injured.

Crane said the occupants were lucky because a Bremerton officer was
just blocks away, and was able to arrive quickly and put out most of
the fire before it spread.

Police and fire officials are working together to find whoever is
responsible.

Driver Winds Up in Planter Box

Bremerton

An 18-year-old Bremerton man was arrested Sunday night after
crashing into a brick planter box in front of the John L. Scott realty
office on Wheaton Way.

According to Bremerton Police reports, the man had been driving a
maroon Pontiac recklessly. The driver missed a curve from Maple Avenue
to Ivy Road, crushing some shrubs with the car. The driver then lost
control trying to make the right turn from Ivy onto north Wheaton
before hitting the planter.

The man was taken to Harrison Medical Center for treatment and was
arrested on suspicion of reckless driving.
